Hi!

:)

My name is Indus Alelia. I am an award winning filmmaker. I live in Seattle.

​

I am participating in the Seattle 48 Hour Film Project (48HFP) the weekend of July 11-13, 2025. I am interested in filming at your location during that time.

​​

This will be my 29th 48HFP. You can see my laurels and awards here: spittingdistancepictures.com

​

The 48HFP requires all cast and crew to be volunteers. This puts all filmmaking teams on even ground and makes for a fair challenge.

​

My small team (of 7 people) is respectful, professional and we all have excellent reputations in the film world.

​
 

HOW THE 48HFP WORKS

- Each team has 48 hours to write, shoot and edit a short film.

- On Friday (7-11-25) at 7pm, the team leader (me) receives a genre at random.

- Our team writer will write a script on Friday night.

- We will film on Saturday (7-12-24)

- Saturday night - Sunday afternoon, the film is edited.

- The film is turned in on Sunday evening by 7pm (7-13-25) to be “on time” and qualify for potential awards.

- The Seattle screening will be at the SIFF Uptown Theater in July 2025

- Winning films will show at Filmapalooza 2026 and have a chance to go on to the Cannes Film Festival.

​

​

NON-INVASIVE FILMING

Team Spitting practices “non-invasive filming” which means we have small and limited gear. We film on iPhones and use portable ring lights. This ensures we are able to respect the property and keep a clean and tidy location.

​

Although we are required to keep the film cast and crew (and locations) volunteer, I would be happy to pay the cleaning fee for the space.

​

​

ADDITIONAL NOTES ABOUT TEAM SPITTING

My team consists of the “under-represented”. My team is made up of an (almost all) women cast and crew. My team also consists of people with disabilities, people of AAPI descent, people of color.

​

My team and I have filmed in many historic buildings, high-end luxury locations, 5 star hotels and restaurants and resorts, local venues, yachts and boats. We have a wonderful reputation for respecting and featuring “must have” locations. You can see some of our locations here: spittingdistancepictures.com/locations
